According to a report in the Miami Herald, Plaxico Burress has told friends that he would love to play for the Dolphins.

Burress, who owns a home in the Miami area, has not received reciprocal interest from the Dolphins. And the Miami Herald’s beat writer talked to a team source, who said the chances of them signing Burress are slim to none.

The Jets have admitted to talking to Burress’ agent, while the Buccaneers reportedly are pursuing the troubled receiver. If Burress would settle for any Florida home, Tampa Bay could have the advantage over Gang Green.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus today wrote that a third team is considering Burress. “Good news for Plaxico as a 3rd team has just expressed serious interest in signing him,” rosenhaus posted on his Twitter pgae. “I won’t identify any of the teams at their request.”

This is all talk for now until Burress’ legal fate is decided. The former Giants receiver is scheduled for a court appearance on June 15 and could face jail time for illegal possession of an unlicensed handgun.

In other news about NFL wide receivers with checkered pasts: Free agent Matt Jones will not be suspended further by the league for violating a court-mandated drug program.

Jones was suspended the final three games of 2008 and it was thought he might be out more games to start this season, but instead will be fined $50,000 by the NFL, according to his agent Dave Butz.

That will make Jones more attractive to the Jets if Burress or other options don’t work out.

“That’s the main message — that Matt will be available to any team looking for a proven receiver,” Butz told ESPN.

Jones, 26, had 65 catches for 761 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games last season for the Jaguars.
